the way I see this Mike Riley era is this

another west coast bullshit artist -- but is a nice coach era another Jennings time I guess

— Nebraska ran through a two hour and 30 minute scrimmage inside Memorial Stadium on Saturday night.

— After the practice, Riley updated several injuries. Taariq Allen left the scrimmage with what Riley said the staff was hoping is a shin bruise.

— Michael Rose-Ivey “dinged his shoulder,” according to Riley.

— Running back Terrell Newby also “dinged his shoulder,” according to Riley. The first year Husker head coach said he thought that the shoulder injuries were just bruises and hoped to get them back quickly.

— Freshman safety Antonio Reed had to leave the scrimmage after taking a hit to the head.

— Riley said the consistency in the running game was something he didn’t like. “We had some nice runs — I’m talking the ones against the ones,” Riley said. “We made some big plays, but we weren’t consistent enough with drives. Quite a few drives were three-and-outs, but there were some pretty good individual plays.”

— Defensively, Riley said Nebraska gave up too many big plays in the scrimmage. “We would like to have their longest play of the game be less than 25 yards, and we would probably win,” Riley said.

— Other players who missed the scrimmage included linebacker Chris Weber, wide receiver Lane Hovey, wide receiverBrandon Reilly and wide receiver Alonzo Moore.

— One of the stars of the scrimmage was freshman Stanley Morgan, who caught a couple touchdown passes. “He has fit in learning-wise, and appears beyond his years,” Riley said. “He’s a physical guy, and he’s a playmaker.”

— Both Jordan Westerkamp and De’Mornay Pierson-El returned to participate in the scrimmage on Saturday night. “We need a good week with all those guys,” Riley said.

— The coming week will be a big one for Nebraska, Riley said, before Nebraska turns its attention to BYU.

— The back-up quarterback position is still up for grabs, Riley said, though Ryker Fyfe got reps with the second team during the scrimmage. He said redshirt freshman AJ Bush also looked good. “In the last week, I’ve been impressed with Ryker Fyfe,” Riley said. “He’s a ballplayer.”

— Tommy Armstrong took a run to the house during the scrimmage, and Riley said the quarterback run elements have to continue to be a part of what Nebraska does.

— Riley said that freshman running back Devine Ozigbo hasn’t been phased by being at Nebraska. “He’s a versatile back,” Riley said. “I love backs who are every-down backs.”

— Riley said wide receiver Alonzo Moore is battling a bone spur in his foot. “He has made a lot of plays in our camp, and I hope he’s back by Monday,” Riley said.

We can go ahead and throw out any theory about having new S&C coaches helping with injury probs.

These are completely different kinds of injuries though.

When Bo was here every single injury was a tear of some sort.

Now they're dings and bruises. Which tells me they're actually hitting each other.

 

[Brasky]

Although we aren't seeing knee injuries galore so... Gleen what you want.

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

Which, by the way....I remember Bo stating several times that he doesn't believe in 1's hitting 1's in practice because of injury problems.

Heading into the season several times our players were still trying to get acclimated to even hitting people at all. It is extremely important to be laying hits to get up to speed.

Yeah

Riley was asked today if he knows who our #2 at QB is yet and he responded only talking about Fyfe and a tiny bit about Bush.

Ryker Fyfe looks like @chucksker on stilts.

 

[Brasky]

Riley not happy w/ the offense. No consistency. Running game sucked.

 

[Brasky]

I think every running game in the country is *hopefully gonna suck against this defense.

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

It would be fun to be able to stop a running game.....

It's been a while

I hope Riley and group are teaching tacklin, i.e. wrapping up when they hit. I thought that was the biggest issue the last few years was very poor technique, just trying to blast the ball carrier with flying body.
